New Promenades - Movements in the Cities

It is high time to open a new chapter on urban development. City problems are multiplying, public space is sold out and the scenery for an open and civil way of life is shrinking or may even be disappearing. How could an altered "garden-thinking" - to view cities from the garden perspective - offer solutions for the problems of our highly strained and economised cities? What is the understanding of contemporary town-planning and urbanization in this context? And will the integration of gardening aspects enable town-planning concepts to counteract the increasing exodus from the cities? Back to nature within the city walls? What if our perception of nature becomes increasingly vague? How does that influence our ideas about gardens and cities?

We would very much appreciate any kind of contribution to the topic as we are planning on publishing a Handbook of Promenades which will also include the lectures given on the symposion Schokoladenseite (see announcements for conferences/ resp. our website www.bda-promenade.de)
